What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the A1 Sportback is easy to drive and economical, with good tech and decent space for its size, but costs more than a VW Polo or Peugeot 208, has few engine choices and is less fun than a Mini. They differ on comfort: What Car? found it smooth and quiet, while Autocar and Parkers found the ride firm on sportier set-ups and road noise high.
